We're here!

Viva Las Vegas!!!
We arrived in Vegas today around noon and we able to see Jenn while she was having lunch. She looks great! She's so happy and so excited to get on stage tonight. She's really having so much fun--she loves her roommate--Miss New Jersey--and said they are having the time of their lives!
Her interview was yesterday--she thought it went well--lots of questions about Autism and her thoughts on new treatments and causes. She said they also asked some off the wall questions too but felt she did well.
Tonight she will answer an on stage question--it will platform based---so she shouldn't have any worries about that! We're all very excited to actually have the competition begin!
It's cool in Vegas--nothing like Minnesota though! High today was 48 and about the same for tomorrow--so we're not exactly basking in the sun here. . . .
Planet Hollywood is the host hotel and it's quite lovely. Last year it was still under construction but it's all complete now and really looks wonderful. We were busy today--a meeting for all the state boards; hanging Jenn's banner in the theater; unpacking and getting settled--so there was no gambling time today! :-)
Jenn's family arrived today too--I know she's looking forward to seeing them tonight too. I know former Miss Minnesota, Tiffany Ogle arrived today and the board from Jenn's local pageant, Miss Mankato is here too. Miss Minnesota 2006, Nicole Swanson called today--wishing Jenn well---she and her husband will be here for the week-end. Friends, neighbors, family -- she'll have a grand cheering section!
More to come tomorrow--hopefully we can get a few pictures after the competition tonight and can post them!
